META METAVERSES? - Interoperability is going to be a thing...
Peter Saddington discusses the emergence of "meta-metaverses," specifically a new venture by Joe Deats, a former Metamask architect, focused on integrating various virtual worlds. Deats' company aims to create interoperability between different metaverses, addressing the potential problem of isolated virtual environments. The core concept involves a layer one blockchain protocol, envisioned as a "coordinate system" for 3D spaces, similar to the internet's domain name system but for complex virtual environments. Saddington highlights the ambitious scope of the project, which includes a programming language for building, maintaining, and communicating across metaverses, regardless of their underlying blockchain. He initially expresses enthusiasm, then notes the complexity of the undertaking before concluding that Metaverses may become a larger market than cryptocurrency because crypto is just the payment rails.
